GoPro's upcoming refresh of its action cams will face plenty of competition as Sony just announced its latest flagship Action Camera, the FDR-X3000R.

The main features of the X3000R are its 4K video recording, Balanced Optical SteadyShot2 (commonly known as optical image stabilization), a new ZEISS® Tessar lens with less lens distortion, a new back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS 8.2-megapixel sensor with large pixels designed for 16:9 aspect ratio video, and a refined user interface for easier navigation.

Other specs include time-lapse capture, built-in GPS, splashproof and freezeproof chassis (will be dustproof, shockproof and waterproof up to 60m with optional Underwater Housing), and a weight of 114g. 

The X3000R will be available in the U.S from the end of this month for US$400 (~S$543). If you do not need the 4K video recording, you can get the AS3000R for US$300 (~S$407).
